Lighthouse Christian Academy honored and celebrated veterans during an hour-long Veterans Day ceremony Nov. 11. The ceremony began with the presentation of colors by Boy Scout Troop 765 and the singing of the National Anthem. A video montage set to the armed forces medley gave students an opportunity to acknowledge and thank those guests who had served in the various service branches. Students playing recorders and a student choir also presented musical tributes to the armed forces. Featured speakers included Navy Lt. j.g. Winn Frank, who spoke to the audience about his experiences serving overseas during the Vietnam War. U.S. Naval Academy Cmdr. Jeff King spoke to the students and guests regarding his background and how his experiences in all areas of life are viewed through the lens of his Christian faith. Various students presented Bible selections appropriate to the theme of gratitude and military service. The ceremony closed with a moment of silence and a prayer from Safe Harbor Presbyterian Church’s pastor, Todd Williams. Following the ceremony, students and guests were invited into the narthex to examine medals, epaulettes, covers, and artifacts from the speakers’ service years.
